I've seen my fair share of optical illusions, so nowadays it takes a lot to stump me but this baseball player optical illusion has my mind well and truly boggled. Featuring a simple illustration of a batter ready to strike it seems fairly innocuous at first, but when you look a little closer it gets harder to answer the question: are they batting right or left-handed?
This crafty mind trick is an example of the classic bistable optical illusion, in which one object can be seen from multiple perspectives, transforming before our very eyes. While you might feel certain of your answer at first, the more you look, the more the player's position seems to change and you're not alone – optical illusion fans can't decide on a correct answer.
